The articles describe the cutting edge work done in particular areas of management and MIS.<br />The journal aims to be a platform for the academia, management researchers, and management students to understand relationship and interaction between management topics and information technology. It develops an inclusive and theoretical framework by using a multidisciplinary approach combining the two fields for researchers and practitioners.<br /></span></p> Lifescience Global Canada, Inc. en-US Journal of Advances in Management Sciences & Information Systems 2371-1647 <h4>Policy for Journals/Articles with Open Access</h4> <p>Authors who publish with this journal agree to the following terms:</p> <ul> <li>Authors retain copyright and grant the journal right of first publication with the work simultaneously licensed under a <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/" target="_new">Creative Commons Attribution License</a> that allows others to share the work with an acknowledgement of the work's authorship and initial publication in this journal.<br /><br /></li> <li>Authors are permitted and encouraged to post links to their work online (e.g., in institutional repositories or on their website) prior to and during the submission process, as it can lead to productive exchanges, as well as earlier and greater citation of published work</li> </ul> <h4>Policy for Journals / Manuscript with Paid Access</h4> <p>Authors who publish with this journal agree to the following terms:</p> <ul> <li>Publisher retain copyright .<br /><br /></li> <li>Authors are permitted and encouraged to post links to their work online (e.g., in institutional repositories or on their website) prior to and during the submission process, as it can lead to productive exchanges, as well as earlier and greater citation of published work .</li> </ul> https://lifescienceglobal.com/pms/index.php/jamsis/article/view/8786 <p>Animal welfare has been a subject of interest for the European Union since the 1970s, with the definition of animal protection guidelines during international transport, on farms and for slaughter. However, the Legislator’s concern found its highest expression in the Animal Welfare Protocol of the Treaty of Amsterdam, where animals are defined as sentient beings, therefore worthy of attention in the policies developed by the European Union and its Member States. Nowadays, the interpretation of the animal welfare concept as an element that contributes to increasing profitability is also integrated by respect for the animal’s feelings and, consequently, the related different biological manifestations. Food scandals and diseases, on the one hand, and the emergence of a new approach to consumer ethics, on the other, have also strongly sensitized the European population about the importance of protecting animal welfare. Based on the above considerations, this study provides a framework to understand whether animal welfare should merely be considered as a product of EU strategies dedicated to the economic and competitive performance of agricultural and agro-industrial enterprises or whether it can also be assessed as a useful tool to minimize the environmental impact, through breeding practices and food habits, and therefore encourage more sustainable development.</p> Alessandro Bonadonna Luigi Bollani Giovanni Peira Copyright (c) 2022 2022-08-26 2022-08-26 8 1 10 10.6000/2371-1647.2022.08.01
